Sensor series 18B from Leuze Electronic is suitable for the beverage industry

Leuze Electronic has launched the 18B series of sensors, which, compared with its predecessor — the 18 series — has more robust housing, smaller dimensions, shorter response time, higher switching frequency, improved adjustability of the switching point and a tracking function for extending the cleaning interval (50x).

Due to these new features, it is possible to reliably detect fast, small, thin and transparent objects, such as foils, even under extreme environmental conditions, which makes the series suitable for the beverage industry.

The visibility of the light spot and the LED display have also been improved, thereby simplifying start-up and operation.

The optics minimise light beam tolerances to the extent that mounting can be quickly performed without alignment. The electrical connection is established either via the M12 plug or the integrated cable.
